Spring can be the most exciting time of year weatherwise for the US. A time of big atmospheric clashes and we’ve just that thanks to cold to the north, heat to the south and a still active storm track and fast moving jet stream.
Low pressure crossing the Rockies often deepen to the east as warm and cold come together and the thermal imbalance grows ever larger over ever shorter distances. This generates pretty much all types of weather. Warm/hot, humid, flooding rain, hail, tornadoes to the south and east while cold, windy, snowy blizzard conditions to the west and north.
Here’s the GFS surface for 6z tomorrow as the low peaks in intensity.
